Dave Neale is based in London, England, where he works as a Freelance Concept Artist in Animation, Film, Advertising, Publishing, and Game Design. He is always excited by the variety of work that comes with freelancing and has worked for clients all over the world, mainly creating stylized creatures and character designs. His clients include EA Games, Warner Bros, Passion Pictures, MPC, The Mill, Ford, Netflix, Mercedes, Oxford University Press, Nestle; he also worked on Fantastic Beasts.
Dave is one of the best in capturing the essence of a character or a creature design. Whether it is a quick sketch or a finished illustration, his work feels alive and very believable. I personally struggled a lot with this during my early days in my career and looking at and learning from Dave’s work helped me improve that.
